Key Chain with Japanese Ball

This doesn't need much explanation :-)

Specs:18 gauge stainless steel rings in 2 sizes. The ball was made with 96 rings in 1 mm square wire with 5.5 mm ID; the double chain also in 1 mm square but with 4.3 mm ID; all from C&T Designs; they always have the nicest square wire rings. Oh and the split ring is a recycle. This dodecahedron holds its own shape without any stuffing; in fact, I had a real hard time weaving the last ring into it, it almost didn't make it ...
